Everyone has been raving about The House in the Cerulean Sea for years but I was a little iffy. Especially after a failed attempt to read Under the Whispering Door. Yet, Klune's novel deserves all the hype for it is an adorable heartwarming fantasy. From start to finish, The House in the Cerulean Sea will simply enchant you, leaving you with the happiest feelings. For anyone looking for a delightfully wholesome read, this is one book not to miss.
